I have my own set of styles and in Word 2000 I have defined multi-
level list for it. Now I want to change multi-level list for a bit,
but I do not know how. I found out where can I define a new (changed)
multi-level list, but I have no idea how to connect it with my old set
of styles. Any idea?

To edit a numbering scheme in Word 2007: Place the insertion point in a
top-level list item. Click Multilevel List (on the Home tab of the ribbon),
and then choose Define New Multilevel List; this will display the Define New
Multilevel List dialog box, which corresponds to the Customize Outline
Numbered List dialog box in previous versions.

On the Format menu, click Style. Locate the top-level style in your
outline.
Then click Modify, Format, Numbering. You are now at the Customize Outline
Numbered List dialog box. Make the desired changes. Seehttp://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html.

I know all that, but this procedure will change only one instance of
the style - the one I started the procedure from. All the rest
instances of this style, including a new one, will still have the old
multilevel style.

Select the problem paragraphs. Press Ctrl+Q to remove any paragraph settings
(including numbering) not in style. Does that help?

I do not know what exactly you mean, but going to paragraph with an
old multilevel style and Ctrl-Q it makes nothing.

Strange. It should be working, assuming that numbering is correctly attached
to paragraph styles.

That's the primar question: HOW TO ATTACH NEW NUMBERING TO EXISTING
STYLE. I am able to create a new multilevel numbering, but I am
unable to attach it (more precisely replace the old one) to the style.

In the Define New Multilevel List dialog box, you can change the numbering
settings and attach styles, the same way that you did it in the Customize
Outline Numbered List dialog box of Word 97-2003. The difference is that you
cannot open the dialog box via the Modify Style dialog box anymore. Instead,
use the Multilevel List button, and click Define New Multilevel List (I'm
aware that the wording of the command is misleading).

Oh, gosh. Well, I know all that you wrote and I decided to test the
procedure for the second time. And now it works. I don't know why it
did not work the last time I tried (I think I did all the same), but
it works now. So let's say the problem is resolved.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,

Marko.
